New York, New York – so good, they named it twice. The Big Apple, the city that never sleeps, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of… years before I first ever visited, I fell in love with it, through movies, music and TV. Yellow taxis; steam rising up through manholes on every street corner; pizza by the slice; Tiffany’s for breakfast (or lunch,or dinner); Batman protecting his beloved Gotham City; the Chrysler building (my all-time favourite edifice); great ‘cawfee; the Statue of Liberty – the reality was even better than the images. It pulses with energy, 24 hours a day, and I truly feel more alive here than in any other city in the world; basically, I just heart NY.
Postcard landmarks, extraordinary experiences and a smorgasbord of dining opportunities – every flavour is catered for in New York City. Step into each famous district in New York and you’ll discover something new. Neighbouring Little Italy, lower Manhattan’s Chinatown is a culinary and visual feast for the senses; colourful signs and townhouses line the streets, whilst live crabs, Chinese spices and fresh star fruits and lychees fill the stalls. Cross over from Chinatown to the Upper East Side and the rich aromas of Cantonese cuisine fade into those of designer perfume. Immerse yourself in New York’s diverse history with a stroll down Museum Mile, before browsing the upmarket boutiques along Madison Avenue or in the legendary Bloomingdales shopping mall; New York is the shopping destination of choice, after all. Wherever you go, the Big Apple is brimming with fusion restaurants, local American diners and cosmopolitan celebrity hotspots; dine at ultra-luxe Le Bernardin or Keens Steakhouse for their sought-after mutton chop. In the bohemian Meatpacking District, Catch NYC is the place to reserve a table for celebrity sightings; savour chef Hung Huynh’s exquisite seafood menu upon the intimate rooftop terrace. No luxury holiday to NYC is complete without visiting the world-famous attractions – the Chrysler Building illuminated at night with its elaborate Art Deco architecture, the Statue of Liberty viewed in all its glory from the Staten Island Ferry and Central Park with its myriad of seasonal activities. Breath-taking views are waiting to be absorbed wherever you venture in the city; walk the historic Brooklyn Bridge for picture-perfect vistas of the city skyline, before stopping for an artisanal soda or grilled cheese sandwich in the 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park. Relive New York’s remarkable journey over the past 14 years with an interactive high-speed lift ride up the 1,776-foot One World Trade Center, before reaching the summit and enjoying panoramic city views from the observation deck.
